university athletics basically subsidize the training for US Olympic programs, and also other countries national teams that have athletes on scholarship.
Don’t expect your kid to get offered a golf or tennis scholarship, unless they are really, really good. So many of those go to foreign students.
Track and Field is another that sport that colleges subsidizes training for a large number of foreign “student-athletes”.

Honestly that practice should be stopped and any school that takes public tax money should have to recruit US students

Who are also really, really good. Are you somehow under the false impression academic scholarships aren't offered to foreigners who excel in the classroom? Or as we approach turning these into businesses you feel the need to restrict the right to "free trade"?
